BFEE consigliere: diplomacy is not appeasement

Former Secretary of State and Bush buddy James Baker:

"Diplomacy involves talking to your enemies. You don't reward your enemies necessarily by talking to them if you are tough and you know what you are doing. You don't appease them. Talking to an enemy is not in my view appeasement."

Though the statement was from last year, it bears repeating. Wonder if anyone in the media will ask him for a follow-up, though?

I crack me up.
